iPhone 5 push email problem

I have a corporate email account and gmail account setup on my new iPhone. Push works for about an hour or two after every hard reset. Is anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

I had the problem with exchange pushing from when i first got my iPhone 5 in November. I tried all kinds of things and finally got it to work. (Taking off the passcode was most effective, but that only worked for so long; also changing the sync period, turning on and off notifications, all that stuff) I finally had it working, and than i downloaded this IOS update (which I thought was supposed to fix this problem) and BAM it started again.

I went to an Apple Genuis Bar and they had no idea what i was talking about but you can tell on line this is a fairly common problem.

Hello People,


I think I found out whats going on here. I called Apple because my iphone 5 wasn't pushing my UC Davis email but my Gmail was working just fine. Apple said its not something on their end because everything else is working fine. I looking around my UCD email setting>Advanced> its has no push setting; only manuall. So i changed my maunal setting to every 15 mins and now its working fine. I am not sure if other people are having problem with email accounts that are not gmail or icloud but it has to do with the server settings from the various emails.

Hope this helps.

Hi. I'm having this issue too, but on an iPhone 4........it's always worked in the past without issues but I noticed it the other day. Turning on airplane mode and back off again fixes it for a little while, as does closing the mail app. As soon as I view an email, and mail app is running in background, it stops pushing again. It was happening on iOS 5.1.1, and I updated to 6.1 which seemed to fix the issue (so i thought), but now it's started happening again a couple of days after I've updated. Is anyone else still getting this issue because it's terribly frustrating?!
